Army of Me

Army of Me is an alternative rock band from Washington, D.C.  I came across them on noisetrade, and really like their sound.  There are some resemblances with Jimmy Eat World.  Here's their bandcamp.  Apparently the band was pretty active in the mid 2000s, and that material sounds pretty hard and rocky, but then the lead singer's voice somehow got destroyed and the band stopped making music for several years.  On noisetrade they've released a new EP, which has a much more acoustic and melodic sound...apparently they plan to release a full length album soon.  "Modern Times" is my favourite...it's a hard-hitting song.  Check them out.
